I've seen advertisements for non-standard keyboards that have like four keys per
hand, and
you use some sort of binary-like sequence to select the keys...you know the
type...

Has anyone a clue on how the keys are assigned, and how you get a full character
set from them?

I'm thinking either a hardware hack, or maybe faking out a normal keyboard into
working that
way by leaving your fingers on the asdf jkl;  keys...
